My wife got me an early birthday present, a nice spanking new Q2.  Wow. 
Even the box it comes in is a work of art with drawers and magnetic flaps 
and everything packed in cloth bags.  Amazing.  So, my first photo was of 
her.

Funny thing though.  The photo looks nice and color balanced on my monitor 
in LR, but when I export the jpeg, it looks like the above, very warm and 
dark for some reason.  I have notice the darker jpegs before, but never the 
drastic color shift.

So, here it is in B&W.  No color shift here:

I know the focus is wrong.  Missed the face.  For some reason I cannot get 
the face recognition to work.  I will have to research that a bit.

And technically, I still do own an R8, but it has seen two rolls of film 
through it in the last 10 years.  I hope to do better with the R8.
